APRIL 25.—The following article app-ared in the Stutgard Gazette ‘' Several ,Gerinan Journals, and among others - thoSe of Munich and Nuremberg, have stated that the sequestrated .property of Count Metternich was to-be restored to him, in consequence of an order from his'Attjesty the Emperor of thc French. .It is. mutter of surprise that such a piece of intelligence should' be announced in It e public journals, and that too under the very eye of an enlightened govern ment. That Court must know that there have been no orders upon this subjed—a term incompatible with the relations of Sovereigns—but friendly solicitations which the EMperor of French has made to the ptlitS of Stutgdrwl and Munich . ; to revoke the se • 4:firestratitin laid upon the property of - Counts SChvvartzenberg and Metternich,- in Swabia. and Bavaria, on account of She service performed. by them upon the occasion of the marriage of,the Ern. peror Napoleon with the Archduchess Maria Louisa ---solicitations to which the above-mentioned Courts kit a satisithion in acceding, as a mark of that esteem which they in so many respects, owe to their / powerful ally."

We are happy to find, by our Letter from Cork, that the Grand Napoleon privateer, which has for some time beeri cruiting successfully to the south west of Ireland, has been captured by the Helena, of , 1 8 guns, and carried irto Cove.- There was: a heavy firing on the French Coast on Saturday and" yesterday, opposite to Dover, but the cause Was not known when our correspondenCs let- ter came away. We have this day laid .before our Readers the narrative which Mr. Sheriff WOOD has thought proper to publish, in vindication of the assertion he made at the London Tavern. Mr. WOOD has.taken a loni,time to prepare this narrative, and now that he has produced it, he leaves the assertion of the two Magistrates, "Mr. BAKEIt and Mr. BIRNIE, tin contradicted. The statement made by these Gen tlemen was simple and distina, and the cdntradic tion given to Mr. WOOD'S assertion at the dinner was as dire& as language could convey it ; but in stead of a plain . answer, Mr. WOOD. has given a long and confused. narrative of circumstances, which' have no relation whatever to the point at issue be tween the Magistrates and him. The question therefore remains exactly as it stood before this narrative was published, and Mr. Sheriff WOOD must excuse us, -if we feel dispoSed' to place a greater. reliance upon the accuracy of the Magis trates than, Upon his. There is one paragraph in this narrative, upon which we should be glad, to have same explanation ; Mr. Woon states that he and Mr. Sheriff ATKINS " remained in the house of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT until-nearly half-past two 'o'clock, when the whole familY, except Sir FRAN CIS BURDETT, having retired to'rest,"—Are we to infer from this. statement, that Sir FRANCIg did not go to bed, or -that he did not sleep in* his own. house 7 If the ratter was the ease, we,should be glad to know where Sir 'FRANCIS BURDETT did pass the night. We have heard that he slept at Mr. ROGER O'CONNOR'S.; bllt upon this point the She-. rifr's narrative seems to be . vritten with' studied am biguity.

This took place on the 21st inst. Count Da MONTES (WIGS] being President , of the Assembly.—Count REGNAULT, Counsellor' of State, delivered the. Speech' for Clnsirirthe'SegTiVii7csf 'Which the foll O wing are the principal passages:- 4 GENTLEMEN, • " The labours of your double Session, the events which 'ha.ve preCeded and accompanied'it, will leave to the nation great recolleCtions and high hopes.— The ciV,il and financial legislation has, ,during ten Years, advanced by an uninterrupted progress to wards_ perfeeting the principles and completing the system. of the former, and alleviating the weight of the, contributions imposed by the latterhe - in , ternal Organization .is ameliorated; _industry has fol-' lowed in the course of former success. The plans for all the great public labours, and . the means for their execution, have been decreed,great political views have extended, with wisdom and modera tion, and always with advantage, the limits of" the Empire. • " The continental peace, which before rested only:on freaties,.and the perpetuity of the dynasty, which had for its foundation only the genius of a. hero and the power of - a great nation, have-nOw for" their basis a prosperous, holy, august, and eternal" alliance. " Such Gentlemen, is the pielure which you have to exhibit to the inhabitants of ydur provinces, and of which have only to recall to your memory the principal features; your hearts guarantee its fidelity." ' The Counsellor -of State then proceeded to enu merate the laws passed during the Session, and took a view of the_interior administration of the. Empire. Passing next to the state of the Foreign Aelations of .Fratice, he expressed himself thus : ' You have ,witnessed, Gentlemen, the Senatus' Consult= which unites to the French Empire the City of Rome, the ancient patrimony of the-Ceesars and o Chailernagne. This aet of the Constitutions of, the Empire, indicated by History,. counselled by Policy, anii decreed by Genius, joins parts of the Wegferti Empire which have Acin - g -- been - separated; and . esfablis: , i-s an alliance between the Tiber and the Seine, between - P iris and Rome. Finaily, this A reSpedling the auth6rity, 'alwayS sacred, Of thtl Church, and preparing the trUe'glory.of_ Religion, secures the independence of Thrones and the re speet of Sovereigns. A new Department will 'be formed under the name' of the _Department des Bouches du s kit - in, .and the, remainder of the ceded territory will be united to the Department of the DeOxlVecues, , .vvnicti will tuns ue renuereo one cf the most conSiderablt, most important, and most weal thy of the Empire. Direanwhile,, , the Confederation of . .the Riiine bas its consideration increased, its power confirmed, and the ties which unite its mem bers drawn cloAer. If the war still growl in those regions, the per .niciouS power of reaching which the English yet retain, it is either at such a diStance on the Ironties of the Ottoman Empire, that Europe cannot long suffer from it, and Asia alone is menaced (unless the Divan return to better principles)—or foi but a short period beyond the Pyrennees, until the ports of Spain shall be opened to our arms and closed to England. From that moment the peace of Europe - may be regarded as secured by the sanctity of trea, ties, the extent of power, the contormity of,inte rests, and the superiority olgenins, " You have:seen an august Messenger of Peace, a sacred pledge of eternal alliance, arrive in-the heart ofFrance, which has thereby been intoxicated - with joy and transported with love. It has been your destiny tq be witnesses of the solemn bonds which will for ever unite Napoleon and Maria Louisa; and. have at the same ihneunited the inte rest of France and the, interests of Austria, for the happines's of t.t)e two nations and the-tranquility of the world:—All the allied. nations bless an event which completes the establishMent of their power, and cements the ties Which unite them. Enlighten ed policy, and consoled humanity, give it equal ap plause; the reason of Europe sanctions it, .but it be longs in particular to France to feel all its value." Count . REGNAULT having concluded, is stated to have descended from the Tribunal amidst loud plan- AJits. The_President replied to him - by a speech in eke same style. On Friday and Saturday mornings his MAJESTY rode on horseback in Windsor Park ; on the latter day h e was accompanied by the Dukes of CAM.. BRIDGL I and GORDON, Princess AUGUSTA and SO-.
